Students of topology rightly complain that much of the basic
material in the subject cannot easily be found in the literature,
at least not in a convenient form. In this book I have tried to
take a fresh look at some of this basic material and to organize it
in a coherent fashion. The text is as self-contained as I could
reasonably make it and should be quite accessible to anyone who has
an elementary knowledge of point-set topology and group theory.
This book is based on a course of 16 graduate lectures given at
Oxford and elsewhere from time to time. In a course of that length
one cannot discuss too many topics without being unduly
superficial. However, this was never intended as a treatise on the
subject but rather as a short introductory course which will, I
hope, prove useful to specialists and non-specialists alike. The
introduction contains a description of the contents. No algebraic
or differen tial topology is involved, although I have borne in
mind the needs of students of those branches of the subject.
Exercises for the reader are scattered throughout the text, while
suggestions for further reading are contained in the lists of
references at the end of each chapter. In most cases these lists
include the main sources I have drawn on, but this is not the type
of book where it is practicable to give a reference for
everything."
